• La Côte Saint-Jacques★★ Michelin This edifice on the banks of the Yonne is truly superlative! Founded by Marie Lorain in 1945, the establishment rose to fame in the hands of her son, Michel, and then later, when her modest, conscientious grandson, Jean-Michel, took over. The latter has entrusted his nephew, Alexandre Bondoux, with the task of composing the menu. Regulars can rest assured that the original, iconic dishes remain (lobster stew; calf sweetbread in ginger), now flanked by flashes of inspiration (skate wing à la meunière in green butter, lovage and morels; suckling lamb from the Pyrenees, gambero rosso and Arabica-9m
• Le Bistrot des Générations On the banks of the Yonne, La Côte Saint-Jacques started out as a guesthouse in 1945. Today, it is a 5-star hotel and its restaurant holds two MICHELIN stars. Le Bistrot des Générations is its more accessible counterpart, homing in on traditional, generous cuisine: œuf parfait (slow-cooked egg) with cep cream and lovage, mustard-confit beef cheek, garden vegetables. Good selection of wines by the glass.2m
• Erre★ Michelin Set in a stunning estate complete with a golf course and spa, this former hunting lodge has been turned into a hotel and fine dining restaurant. The vaulted dining area with white tablecloths and an understated contemporary decor looks out onto the green. Originally from the Cévennes, Clément Vergeat (formerly at Guy Savoy and Alliance in Paris, Kokkeriet in Copenhagen) has devised a surprise menu that combines produce from Southern Europe with Northern European techniques: Camargue oysters with dried duck; smoked prawn tartare smørbrød style; fermented strawberries and matured lamb.
